Itchy Fingers

Dangerous things itchy trigger fingers. Better to hit them with an empty
beer bottle most likely. So could FOAK tell me if it was a good idea?

Other than no mention of 100Htz it seems to be up there and had good
reviews.

It was nearly new and on eBay with the Philips DVD and 5.1 and stand.
Didn't meet the reserve and he came back with a 2nd Chance offer.

 

It's Philips, it'll go wrong.....

 

<curses>

Their clinical equipment is absolutely spot on!! and the 32" LCD I have in
NI is likewise.

 

Don't necessarily take too much notice of me, I just hate Philips stuff.
Goes back to when I were young, their gear then was a bugger to take
apart to fix, and always seem to fail at a few years old. Then all my
friends would bring the stuff round and ask me to have a look....

 

Nahh only 768. Wait for 1080p prices to come down. I have 32" 100Hz CRT
and I'm not budging till 1080p come down to £350 (that'd be about six
months then?)

 

I will never buy anything made by Philips again - purely because of niggling
design/software faults such as: conflicting remote controls with no way to
change frequencies, noisy ticking drive system in our home cinema ("no fault
found"), big fat blue "Dolby ProLogic" banner which appears in the bottom
third of the screen and sometimes won't go away, forcing a reboot (of a DVD
player, FFS!) and it can't be turned off, no memory back up battery so it
forgets the time and all the radio stations every time it's turned off at
the mains...

'Course, they might be wonderful now.

 

We shall see if he "stands and delivers"
Anyone got something big enough near Leeds/York to transport if he throws
the head up at the price and won't put it in his own truck?

 

But Nige......

Toshiba are about the best I have ever owned & believe me, it's a

Not a bad few?

Bad idea. You need to buy new in order to pay for peoples payrises

 

Yes I realise you work for Philips now and I expect my calls for support to
be answered on the second ring!

 

Cheers thats very kind of you. I shall email the boy today and see what the
score is with him.

 

Oh yes!? Oi, Spete! Why do my Philips remotes conflict with each other?
Bastard bloody things!

 

They despise you

HTH

 

<Thinks>

That explains a lot, actually. You've certainly been more help than customer
services.

 

Now orries, at your service. Next time we meet, you can buy me a barrel of
beer.
